3D Vision compatibility fixes for Risen 1, 2 and 3!


These fixes aim to make all parts of the "Risen" series 3D vision ready.

Risen 1

What is fixed:

• HUD moved to depth
• Shadows
• Point lights without shadows

What is fixed:

I will find and hug you! Thank you so much for this (although i didn't test it yet).
Helix Blog never released a fix for the Risen games, sadly.

Maybe you should consider contacting them and upload this on their website, too?
Risen was a quite big request some time ago.

[mx-2]

Nice to know that there is still interest in these fixes since the games are a few years old now.

Risen 1 is already on the Helixmod gamelist. The other parts will be added when they are completely finished.

[Plasquar]

Well, there are not much people interested in the Risen games anymore (at least that what it seems).
There will be even less people interesed in the 3d Vision fix, because not many people are using it (which I honestly don't understand).

But I doesn't seem that the fix is already in the GameList?

[mx-2]

I just checked it: It's definitely in the Helixmod gamelist.

If you use NoScript or something similar, you have to allow the script from ozlabs.org to make all games visible.

[Plasquar]

That actually was the problem...
Well, nvm.

I'm gonna test Risen in a few days and see how it looks now in 3d.
I assume you tested it at highest quality settings?

[mx-2]

Yes, all the fixes are designed for maximum settings.

[Plasquar]

Alrighty, thanks again for this!
Really glad that someone took the time to fix the Risen Series for 3d Vision.

[MN32410]

big thanks. Now I can look at risen 3 in 3d. I have 3d vision glasses from nvidia. Amazing.

[Plasquar]

Let me thank you again for what you've done here.
I just started Risen 1 with a mod that darkens the caves a little, so you have to use torches.

I was amazed how awesome the game looks now in 3d with a torch in a cave.

That is amazing. I will test it when I´m done with the risen 3 real enhanced edition textureupdate and weathermod. Superb Risen 2 looks impressive and now Risen 1 with my textureoverhaul and Risen is now working too. That is fantastic. Now we need Oculus Support. Only a joke.

I know mx-2 has been offline for some time, but maybe you'll read this:

There is a problem with your Risen2 fix. With your integrated dll the face animations are kinda messed up.
With the standard d3d9.dll from the helix site there are lightning issues inside houses.

[mx-2]

The final version of the Risen 2 fix is released. This should fix all remaining lighting issues.

I tested the fix with tht GOG version on 64 bit Win 7 and driver 358.87.On my system, I can't reproduce that issue.
Can you provide a link to the source of your dll ?

[Plasquar]

I got the dll from here: http://helixmod.blogspot.de/2012/03/dlls-update.html (Release DLL).
But maybe my problem doesn't exist anymore after updating to your final version.

Thanks for updating the fix!

[mx-2]

The first release version (v1.1) of the Risen 3 fix is released.

[Plasquar]

What a perfect timing. Just when I start my next Risen 3 playthrough.
Thanks again for this.
It's so sad that the 3D Vision community is so small.
